YOGYAKARTA Indonesia bought 24 Sikorsky S-70M Black Hawk helicopters. The purchase was witnessed by Prabowo as Minister of Defense with the Deputy Minister of SOEs of the Republic of Indonesia, Rosan Roeslani.

The signing was carried out at the Lockheed Martin facility, Washington. Black Hawk is certainly one of the best aircraft in the world to 34 countries in the world as well.

Of course Black Hawk is not just an ordinary fighter. This aircraft can also be a tool for the evacuation of natural disasters.

People think the country doesn't need a Black Hawk but with uncertain natural conditions it's not just war between countries that we will face but survive in harmony with nature.

The UH-60A is the first model of the Black Hawk helicopter series to officially start on December 23, 1976 when Sikorsky was selected by the US Army to build a prototype version of the YUH-60A Utilities Tactical Aircraft System (UTTAS) that we know as the current Black Hawk.

The Black Hawk helicopter was involved in several important conflicts and operations in modern history. In 1983, the Black Hawk helicopter was used in combat during the Grenada invasion. Then, in 1989, this helicopter was reused in operations in Panama.

One of the other historic moments was during the Gulf War in 1991. The Black Hawk helicopter is part of the largest airstrike mission ever carried out by the US Army. More than 300 Black Hawk helicopters were involved in this operation.

In 1993, the Black Hawk helicopter took part in the attack on Mogadishu in Somalia. The helicopter also played an important role in the 2003 Iraqi invasion and operations in Afghanistan.

The presence and role of the Black Hawk helicopter in these conflicts shows the flexibility and resilience of these helicopters in various tactical and operational situations.
